Gameplay Summary

The game started off with all players employing their early game strategies, setting up their mana bases and introducing a few creatures to the board.

A key turning point was the introduction of Arabella, Abandoned Doll, whose abilities created a significant advantage for the player controlling it.

This advantage snowballed into a powerful board state, further amplified by the other cards played.

Despite several attempts from the opponents to regain control of the game, the player commanding Arabella was able to maintain their advantage and eventually claim victory.
